personal attacks

i am sad to read such comments about anyone who obviously is not able to reply - as an englishman notwithstanding the american english way of life - free speech?.... why anyone should rant about this individual who gave chess a name in the states that the russians were not invincible at this game of...

game greeting

i am thinking of luck as a not too literal - understand that the game is skillful and luck is not usually appreciated - like all things it's a matter of choice - as one can't shake hands in greeting - maybe hello, hi etc may be exchanged without inference of luck - good game or other may be used wit...

comment box

I always try and greet my opponent with good luck gl or good game gg - often if i don't get a reply i take it as they are really happy with formal greetings and don't wish to communicate - sometimes i assume they are being down right rude - but this then gives me an advantage..... it's a problem wit...

not surprised - but amazed - your game is wonderfully amusing - thought i had seen most endings but no.... - :idea: surprised the game was not stopped by the referee in the sky - where are you when you need them.....
